GEORGE MICHAEL, born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, left a void in not only the music industry, but in the minds of millions when he sadly died last Christmas Day. As he rose to dizzying heights of fame in the Eighties with pop group Wham! before moving on to pursue one of the most successful male recording careers of all time, the world watched. Here, we chart his early days on stage to his memorable Carpool Karaoke in celebration of his life, work and the indelible imprint on music, fashion and culture.
